  • Asking for materials, asking for permission, and asking for the location of something.

  • Inviting a friend to an activity and giving short responses to invitations.

  • Expressing favorite activities and basic needs.

English Through Math Themes

  • Recognizing and using numbers, operation names, and basic comparison expressions.

  • Distinguishing given information and what is requested in short, visually supported questions on math topics they know.

  • Explaining equal groups, sharing, and simple fractions shown with concrete objects and drawings using ready-made expression patterns.

  • Sharing information in simple tables and visual graphs with short questions and answers.

English Through Science Themes

  • Using basic vocabulary related to living things, habitats, and daily materials.

  • Comparing visible characteristics of objects and living things with simple expressions.
